A
bronchioles
B
alveoli
C
raveoli
D
bronchioli
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (tiny branches of air tubes in the lungs). The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.

Detailed explanation-2: -The alveoli form clusters, called alveolar sacs, that resemble bunches of grapes. By the same analogy, the alveolar ducts leading to the sacs are like the stems of individual grapes, but, unlike grapes, the alveolar sacs are pocketlike structures made up of several individual alveoli.

Detailed explanation-3: -They are called alveoli-small, grape-like clusters inside your lungs. They play a key role in the exchange of gases into and out of your lungs and this role is essential in keeping us alive.

Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of each bronchiole are tiny air sacs called alveoli. This is the place where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide actually happens.
